It happens sometimes, especially with pirated movies.

Character stagnation or regression is still character development. A character doesn't have to grow in a positive manner to have it be development, no matter the amount of time passed.
How the hell do abandonment issues stop someone from amassing wealth? It's not like she suffered from constant mental or nervous breakdowns.
So you don't think mentally unstable people are all aware of their condition, yet somehow she clearly should've been...

i think in 250 years, with all potential resources available to her, something she obsessed over so thoroughly is there blinding her vision and yet she never did a thing to address it. yeah she would be aware of it on some level...

She stayed stagnant as the day Kovacs left and just got obscenely rich in that time


Seems weak to me... if you like it then cool, she was a better character and actress than Ortega


I don't get how you can say it was blinding her and she should be aware of it in the very same sentence. By definition being blind to something means you aren't aware of it.
As for time, wealth and mental health...I point you to the very real Howard Hughes.

I don't take issue with you not liking the character, I'm not that fond of it myself. But saying it was shitty writing or poor character development is simply flat out wrong.

And yet somehow you asked that question when it was shown that she was like that before those 250 years. It was also shown multiple times that he promised to always protect her, that it would always be the 2 of 'em and then left her to the Yakuza's "care" (from her point of view).
Following that she was once again confronted with the fact that it would never be "just them" as he was prepared to sacrifice himself (the only thing she ever cared for) for others. Once again feeding her abandonment issues.

It's weird how you think mentally unstable people are always capable of realizing they need therapy. From her point of view, Kovacs is the insane one for caring about anyone else.


I agree with the sentiment in the OP, but her motivations, issues and reluctance to change/care for others was made clear enough

OK so this bugs me. why does his sister care so much? They were separated when they were kids. Then saw each other briefly before he was gone for 250 years. seemed to be assumed dead.

so in that time she became some super obsessed woman jealous of her assumed-dead brother having any potential romantic interest? Like she became functionally a living god and yet unable to be remotely resonable with her brother having feelings


Didn't you see her killing the love of his life 250 years ago? It's made quite clear that her childhood, her time with the Yakuza and how she got there had left her with severe abandonment issues.
It isn't stupid, you just weren't paying attention.

Some people really like Overwatch, and because they LIKE IT, they will spend a bunch of money buying loot boxes. They don't do it just because they have a lot of money, they have a lot of money and want to support Overwatch.

Not only is Logan not an X-Men movie, it's not even a comic book movie. It's a dystopian semi post-apocalyptic like setting (not unlike The Road, which Logan heavily reminds me of) that just happens to have people with supernatural powers.


Old Man Logan
Lazarus
The Walking Dead
Hulk's Maestro stories

All comics set in a dystopian post apocalyptic setting. A different type of story/setting doesn't mean it isn't a comic book movie. Literally the only qualifier is "based on a comic". Guess what? 300 and V for Vendetta are CBM as well.
Might as well claim Preacher isn't a comic book show because no one is wearing tights.

Man, I hear all these poeple talk about how hardcrore they are to GameGube but can you top this? :D

Me and my friends have a secret language we made up using GC games and features. We just sat around bored one day cause we wanted to talk about hot girls without our parents hearing, so we came up with it.

For example:

That's awesome = "That's Cube-ular" (anything good or cool can be called "Cube-ular")

What's up = "Wavebird"

She's hot = "She's Samus"

Got any cigarattes? = "Got any Cubesticks?"

Did you do her? = "Did you insert the Memory Card?"

Look at her butt = "Check out the Cube handle"

Bye/ I gotta go = "Power off Cube"

My mom's in the room = "Peach is present"

Things like that... we have like at least 100 phrases and stuff. I know it may seem wierd but after months of using it, it's like a second language

Pretty cool huh? ^_^ Just wanted to share this.

Sleep Deprivation

THUD.

THUD.

THUD.

Okay, okay, I'm awake. There's no need to keep banging. I mean, look at the time. It's 3:10AM, just like it was yesterday. And the night before. And the night before that as well. In fact, for the last few weeks I've seen it in all my dreams: it's written on the walls, in every book, on every car registration. It's all I can see. And then I wake up at 3:10, to the same noise.

THUD.

Right on cue. It's coming from the loft.

THUD.

And it's getting closer.

THUD.

I don't know what's in my head. But I feel like getting up and seeing who's there. I think it must be the sleep deprivation. It messes with your head. At first I thought I was making these noises up, but, it seems now they're real. I kept waking up with these scratches on my face. I thought I was going insane. I imagined myself scraping the flesh from my cheek as I lay there. The thought of these actions being beyond my control made me want to seek help. But they'd find me crazy. Hell, if I do, why wouldn't they?

THUD.

Definitely from above me. My heightened sense of awareness during this frightening time is evident. I can hear my heart beat. Thud thud, thud thud, thud thud. It's the only thing I can hear in this silence. With one deep breath, I'll creep towards the hatch.

If you don't get down here, I'll shout I'll go up there and break your fucking kneecaps!

Silence.

Did you hear me?!

Nothing.

Right, I'm going up there.

Usually I wouldn't think like that. But I don't know what it was. Normally I'd retreat back to my bed and pretend this didn't happen. Pretend it was all a bad dream. That'd be ideal right now, don't you agree? I do. But it's too late to turn back now. I've already pulled the ladder down. And that activates the light. I'm not one to make empty threats. So here I am. Half way up. My palms are a bit a bit clammy to say the least. And I'm guessing that I shouldn't have gone on this adventure without a shirt. But it's too late to go back. I've made a decision and I'm sticking to it.

Touch the sky, you ugly son of a bitch!

Even though I'm only pointing my fingers, I still feel like the boss. Or, I would be. It looks like there's no-one here. I'm all alone in my poorly insulated loft- I should probably get that sorted. I could freeze pork up here.

If you're hiding, it's no use!

He's probably behind the Christmas tree. Yeah, there he is. I can totally see him. I just wish these fingers were loaded. Each step on this wool is like walking on heaven. I should invest on some more of this, for the whole house. That'd be just great. Oh, oh, he's moving.

You'd best be praying, because

Oh. There's no-one here. Just some useless old bag. Why the hell would I put a bag in the loft? That's just silly. And plus, these walls are paper thin. So I bet the neighbours think I'm a basket case. I should probably just get back to bed before I can embarrass myself any more.

That handle was a little tight. I probably shouldn't turn my light on. That's a silly idea. I'll only have to get up to turn it off again.

I wonder what that noise was anyway. I doubt it was a bag. I've never heard a bag make footsteps before. Were they even footsteps? I don't know what they could have been. I could still be asleep for all I know. This could be a dream. I hope it is. I have work in the morning. I used to be able to get up at 6 o'clock. Ha, not likely now. I just need to roll over, and pretend none of this even happened.

THUD.

What the .. ?

THUD.

Why is that so loud?

THUD.

I must be dreaming.

THUD.

Oh I'm going to have to sort this out. Where the hell is my lamp? I know it's around here somewhere ..

THUD.

Oh.

THUD.

It walks on ceilings.

THUD.

This was a guy who shared every single detail of his legal troubles, yet was weirdly and non characteristically tight lipped regarding the details of that charge save for the aforementioned claim and e-mail.

Strange, because what you should be reading is that he did nothing but make claims of trumped-up charges because he is a very threatening and imposing figure. You can draw your conclusions from that as you see fit. I'll stick with mine of it all being uncharacteristic and suspicious.

its power is mostly not by the wielder, but rather over the wielder

with the exception of a few very specific individuals--gandalf, galadriel, elrond--who would've been able to use its full power. in so doing, however, they would have simply replaced sauron after destroying him, because the ring's corrupting power over its wielder would actually be worse than it was over the hobbits.

think of it as having a sliding scale--the more powerful it is in your hands, the more power it has over you. the hobbits were chosen to bear it because they were the least powerful of all; as such it had the least power over them.

Only Sauron can truly use the One ring, as far as i know


So we've never seen what it can actually do? I get that it's the saying "power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely" in action. But I never understood why anyone would actively search for the thing as no one ever saw it do anything but make an already powerful creature slightly more powerful.


There was no need to show its potential in the Books/Movies because LOTR has never been about a power scaling universe even though people like to make it one. The fact Gandalf didn't personally take the ring to Mordor is proof enough of the dangers of the ring, also the corruption of King Theoden was shown to illustrate how even the most noble and righteous can be turned by sauron, and that was without the ring being used.

If any of the stronger characters actually obtained the ring than the story would end there, Toiken would have to use an even bigger dues ex machina to rationalize how the rest of the fellowship could have beaten whoever got the ring.


Okay, I can get behind that.

again: its power is over the wielder. you see the ring's power frequently: everyone who comes near it goes crazy with lust for its power, even though they could only have a fraction of that power. the ring in the dark lord's hands had such power that he almost destroyed a united world.


But got beaten by a human with a sword. Not all that impressive power. You say it's power is only over the wielder, followed by stating it amplified power. Maybe LotR just isn't for me...

As a driver, if you see a bike, limit your speed. As a cyclist, try to stay to the side and if you hear a car behind you, move aside.


Or you bike on biking trails and let cars use the streets mean for them.

Streets are nice and flat and I'd love to play catch with my friends there, but I don't do that, there are parks for that


A bicycle is a means of transportation, not just something people use for exercise or leisure. As such, that's a terrible analogy you tried to make.
"Someone who drives a bike" is not synonymous to "asshole who rides in the middle of the road wearing bike shorts"


Most times I see bikers in the street it's actually this.


Oh, it's a thing for sure. I live in Europe where these assholes thrive due to popularity of Tour de France and such. But there's also a ton of people here that use bikes for everyday transportation and many of those are considerate enough.
I get the frustration of wanting to get somewhere fast and not being able to pass a slow-moving bike. I've been on both sides of this situation hundreds of times.
It all boils down to both parties being considerate and courteous of others using the road. Sadly there are a vast number of entitled pricks using the very same road as this topic shows.

Yes, but only a shitty cop would actually enforce it.

You realize you havent disproved what I said. I didnt say anything about pop songs. I said if you dont like Bruno Marss music you are too stiff to dance.


I guess Bruno Mars is a popular metal band over there then. The Bruno Mars I hear is definitely a pop artist though.


Youre still misunderstanding what Im saying. Im not speaking for all pop. Just Bruno Mars.


That's awesome! Still doesn't change the fact that statement doesn't hold much water when the clubs that do play Bruno are vastly outnumbered by those that don't here.
Maybe in your limited experience, it's a correct statement.

what do you call it if not edm


There are about a dozen genres. Techno, house, electro, trance, dance,drum and bass, dupstep, hardcore,... Many of those even have a ton of subgenres. We called it by those names decades before the term EDM started popping up. That term still isn't used here.
I hate it as much as I hate calling everyting featuring a guitar and drums "rock", there's a clear and major difference between Elvis and Metallica.

Do you legit breakdance or some shit at the club tc? I dont need a lot of dancing talent for a girl to grind and twerk against my dick.


No, but his songs are great to dance to at a club. So if you dont like his music its prolly cuz you dont like to dance


What if I love dancing, but just don't go to clubs that play everyday pop songs? Seriously, if I have to pay for overpriced drinks, I'll make damn sure it's not at a club that plays songs that get played on every station 24/7.
I go to those that feature world famous DJs. The "Fuse" part of my name is actually my fav club in Brussels.


So do you actually dance or hop up and down to EDM?


I see you've never been to any sort of these places or have any knowledge of the genres by your usage of that awful acronym (really despise that acronym). Maybe hopping around like idiots is what happens in US "EDM" clubs. But over here we dance. If i had to compare it'd probably resemble the dancing at R&B/hip hop places the most.


Then whats your issue with Bruno?


My first post in this topic shows I don't. Dude has catchy tunes. I took issue with the statement that not liking pop songs means you must not like clubs or dancing. The kind of clubs that don't play artists like Bruno vastly outnumber those that do here.
I literally live in the land of Tomorrowland.

Like when you take a right turn and aren't required to stop first, there could be a bicyclist riding on the bike lane to your right that smacks into you, but you were too busy having to pay attention to pedestrians and other cars to notice.

Unless it's some sort of magic bike that appears out of nowhere, you should have passed it as you approached the intersection and therefore would be aware that he is to your right as you prepare to make your turn


I guess now we know how he got the name "fenderbender"

Lets say that someone is riding their bike in the only lane that's possible to drive in(it's a one way lane) and they are holding up traffic.

Is it considered a douche bag move to honk your horn at them?


No.

It's fucking stupid how cyclists are taking over the streets. If there is a one lane road and two perfectly good sidewalks in a long, straight street, why can't the bicycle go riding at 1 MPH on the sidewalk? Noooooooooooooooo they have to ride at 1 MPH on the main road, slowing everybody down, until his majesty raises his arm looking like a chicken with an itch and then turns right or left on a second's notice.

Roads were paved for cars, not bicycles, deal with it. There is no reason they can't use a sidewalk.


Except for the law stating that sidewalks aren't for bicycles. I don't know about the US, but here anyone over 10 years old riding a bike on the sidewalk could potentially be fined. But we also have dedicated lanes inbetween the road and sidewalk here in most places

It's not strictly enforced, but bicyclists are encouraged to use the roads in the US and not the sidewalks


So pretty much the same. I've never been fined even though I hopped on the sidewalk in front of a cop dozens of times. All it takes is one having a bad day though.
Bicycles are also a much more common means of transportation here.

And it should be legal and we should encourage bicyclists to ride on sidewalks. They just don't fit on roads, even when there are bike lanes.

Like when you take a right turn and aren't required to stop first, there could be a bicyclist riding on the bike lane to your right that smacks into you, but you were too busy having to pay attention to pedestrians and other cars to notice.

Just move bikes to the sidewalk. Problem solved.


Or just learn to look right before making a right turn. It's easy to blame others for being a shitty driver.

That's the sad nature of pop music. When an actually good song releases, they'll shove it down your throat until you're sick of it.

What the fanboys love to purposely ignore is that the essential exclusives that the PS4 has like God of War and Last of Us, are offset by Games like Gears and Sunset Overdrive.

Theyre all games that people would like to play, but not enough to buy the console for.

The majority of the exclusives the PS4 has are Japanese games that I have no interest in. I dont care about niche JRPGs and games with unpronounceable titles.


https://gematsu.com/exclusives/ps4

Weird how the vast majority on this list aren't JRPG and don't have unpronounceable titles. I'm not going to pretend they're all system sellers or even decent games. But that was a seriously ignorant statement to make.

did you even read that list, it's like 90% obscure indie titles and Japanese games with bizarre titles


Did you? Again the vast majority on this list aren't JRPG or games with unpronounceable titles. I see a fuckton of easily pronounced English words.
Did you even read my post for that matter? The one were I stated I'm not arguing quality or AAA budgets, but the fact that saying things like "The majority of PS4 exclusives are JRPG or weird unpronounceable titles" is a misinformed or downright ignorant statement to make.
Hell, most of those JRPG or weird Japanese games never make it overseas so I don't know why people pretend they make up most of the exclusives here when that's not even true for Japan itself.

my bad, when i saw games like"YU-NO: A girl who chants love at the bound of this world" or "Full Metal Panic! Fight: Who Dares Wins" or "Demeritocracy, or Two-Faced Arias Loos" i didnt realize that they had totally normal titles


You stated that 90% of that list is like that. Anyone who's able to read can see that it isn't. If you want to make disingenuous statements, that's your problem. I'm not being the unreasonable fanboy making outrageous statements here.
